OK, correct me if im wrong but this is my understanding for the huge price difference inbetween these two products....

The Turbo smart product is basiclly a bleed valve (or two in the dual product) which bleeds air from the moment 1psi is reached alot like a normal bleed valve. Making the car reach its pre set bleed value. Not the fastest way to reach the boost value required...

AVC-R on the other hand is all electronic and has an electronic bleed valve which wont bleed any air until the boost value is achieved therefore because no air is bleeding during build up to set value the boost will come on faster....

For example, if 10psi is set then the car will boost to 9 or 10psi with no bleed and then the electronic valve will kick in the hold that value. Also will stop any boost spikeing.... Yeah

If this is correct then i will buy the AVC-R...

The other advandage is that the boost value can be set in cabin which is an odvious advantage and theres no stuffing around with setting the bleed. (ie. pull over and turn the dail a little until the boost is achieved)

Im pretty sure this is the way they work. But i also under stand that their are many other types like a G-Reddy E-Boost product and of course there are many others.

Can you state which youe think is the better product and price and why???

Thanks

OK i have found the price of a Brand New AVC-R using the one of the sponcers web sites and its only $646.15 AUD plus shipping of about $40... Pretty cheap really....

Anyone got any thoughts of were i might buy a new one in Australia tho.... Im not sure if i can wait a few weeks for it to come from Japan...?

Or can someone suggest a better or similar product and give a price and location of where i may get one... And why you would choose this over say the AVC-R???

So you would only use an AVC-R....

Is that what ya saying...

I dont mind paying a bit more if i can get it now...

ie. Autobarn Virigina said they will do one for $980 neat.... I think ill just buy it from them... In case you have a problem you then have someone to take it back too...

I under stand what auto barn does... but at least if they send it its their problem...

Cost of postage, if it goes missing... blah blah blah...

Anyway i get auto barn vouchers from work... I will only take a month to get $1000 so its really free when you think about it.... Thats why i really wanted to buy it from them... Cause it will cost me nothing...

Like i get my oil, filters and stuff they every service cause it costs nothing...

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
